Also, I wonder how they decide what code is worth training on. Because a lot of code is written in poor style/has technical debt, it might be the case that these LLMs in the long run lead to an increase in the technical debt in our society. Plus, eventually, and this might already be happening, the LLM are going to end up training on their own outputs, so that could lead to self immolation by the model. I am not certain RLHF completely resolves this issue.

Funnily he was quite disappointed at the fruit situation coming from a tropical country, but that was more about freshness than quantity.

If they can talk about you for a couple of minutes and then email their boss a link to a well written blog post, you derisk the act of referring you. You allow the boss to sell himself by providing the material, so your friend isn't on the hook as badly.

Though one (perhaps nit-picky) point I'd like to make is that these dictators are not dumb. They are incredibly intelligent. They themselves are probably not hackers, but they understand people and power. They are going do what they can to get what they want. We can't ignore the factor they play in creating these problems, and we need to take it just as seriously as we would a technical security exploit.

I think principles are great, but like you yourself have said, they require context. I would especially be a valuable resource for junior and mid career engineers, of which I am one.

Historically people consumed much more salt, and don't give me the "people used to die when they were 35" nonsense. There is a big difference between being kicked by a horse vs dying of a stroke.

This could include changing requirements, poor communication, illness, being blocked by other changes, etc.

I learned that you can get away with giving people extended deadlines as long as you hit them.

I agree that reddit shouldn't be censoring anyone or certain topics since it feel like a public utility. But if I were to have a blog, I think I should be allowed to block someone or delete certain comments based on how I think my blog should be, but my blog isn't a public utility. Or is it?
